With the regional four-day tournament unlikely to be staged this season, Cricket West Indies (CWI) board member Wilford “Billy” Heaven says plans are afoot to organize matches within each territory so that selectors can assess players ahead of the proposed Test series against South Africa and Pakistan.

“It is highly unlikely that we will have the four-day competition in the usual way. What we are contemplating at the moment is to have intra-territorial cricket among the best players from each territory,” Heaven, the president of the Jamaica Cricket Association (JCA), said during a telephone interview.

“So Jamaica, for example, will organize within its borders a competition in which two teams will be established and they will play each other. The other five territorial boards will do likewise,” he told the Jamaica Observer.

It is expected that regional selectors will have a keen eye on all matches against the backdrop of a busy home schedule for the regional side.

Why waste time just select West Indies A team, West Indies B team, West Indies C team and an Under 19 team and let them play against each, to at least give our young players some competitive experience. At the end of the tournament, then form a 20 member team for tours to provide some international experience and exposure to some talented, deserving players.
Lets think outside the box!!

I like your alternative but the players would have to be quarantined & in a bubble. If CWI is willing to incur that expense then your suggestion is a viable. Also, play the games in two or more territories because the pitches are different.
